Don't forget about the third category: "Your research results are hurting my feelings and therefore wrong! Cancel you!"

Or "your research results will hurt my profits, this media campaign will slander your credibility. We'll do our own research, with blackjack and hookers, and bribed results"

For example, a friend of mine ran a study that disproved a company's study that they used to push a product. Then my friend's company got blacklisted by the first company for all future products.

Or “my research is true because of conspiracy theories”
